Worsley – did you know?

Worsley is first recorded in a Pipe Roll of 1195–96 as Werkesleia, likely meaning “Weorc’s clearing” in Old English.
Interestingly, the Bridgewater Canal, completed in 1761, was built by the 3rd Duke of Bridgewater to transport coal from Worsley’s mines. It is widely regarded as Britain’s first true canal.
Worsley Delph, the historic entrance to the extensive underground canal system that served the coal mines, is a scheduled ancient monument and forms part of the town’s conservation area.
Notably, two Roman roads run through the Worsley area — one connecting Mamucium (Manchester) with Coccium (Wigan) passes near Drywood and over Mosley Common.
A hoard of 550 Roman coins dating from AD 250–275 was discovered near a quarry in Boothstown in 1947.
What’s more, “Worsley Man” — a preserved bog body found on Chat Moss in 1958 — was originally thought to be a 20-year-old, but is now dated to the Romano-British period around the 2nd century AD.
Worsley expanded dramatically from a small village after the Bridgewater Canal allowed large-scale cotton manufacturing, iron-working, brick-making and coal mining.
Interestingly, large urban housing estates were built in Worsley after the First and Second World Wars, transforming its character.
The historic Worsley Packet House, beside the canal, was where passengers boarded packet boats to Manchester — a key transport link in the industrial era.
Finally, Worsley today has a population of around 10,000 and lies 6 miles west of Manchester within the City of Salford.
